*Although Floyd Mayweather is an overwhelming 11-to-1 favorite to beat WBA welterweight champion Marcos Maidana Saturday night, there are concerns that his personal life might be more of a distraction than his jail sentence nearly three years ago for domestic assault.

Three weeks ago the 37-year-old Mayweather announced that he and his longtime live-in fiancee, “Miss” Shantel Jackson had broken up. On Wednesday night, Showtime’s All-Access reality series revealed that the breakup came shortly after Jackson, who was pregnant by Mayweather with twins, was no longer pregnant.

On Thursday, he posted a sonogram of the twins on his Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages, stating: “The real reason me and Shantel Christine Jackson @missjackson broke up was because she got a abortion, and I’m totally against killing babies. She killed our twin babies. #ShantelJackson #FloydMayweather #TheMoneyTeam #TMT”

According to Fight Hype, Mayweather had also suspected that the children were not his, but claims the real reason he and Jackson split was the abortion:

According to one source, Jackson originally claimed to have had a miscarriage, but it didn’t take long for Mayweather to discover the truth of the abortion. Mayweather was said to be affected “emotionally and mentally” as abortions go against his belief of killing babies. Furthermore, we’re informed that Mayweather began to question if the babies she was carrying were really his, causing him to call an abrupt end to the relationship.

The photo and messages were removed from Floyd’s Facebook quickly after being posted, but not before screencaps of it spread through social media like wildfire.

Despite the drama created by the pregnancy and breakup, Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe has no concerns about how the events have affected his friend.

“I don’t think Floyd Mayweather gets affected by too many things as it relates to preparation for a fight,” Ellerbe said. “Come Saturday night, you will see an even more exciting Floyd.

Mayweather, a 10-time world champion and world’s pound-for-pound best with a 45-0 record, is scheduled to earn at least $32 million for his 36 (or fewer) minutes in the ring against Maidana (Showtime pay per view, 9 p.m. ET Saturday).

During a roundtable discussion with reporters Tuesday, Mayweather refused to answer a question about how he’s been since his breakup with Jackson. He called the question “rude,” though nobody at the time was aware of the loss of the twins.

“There’s no question about it, he’s distracted,” Schaefer said. “Think about it, we saw a very emotional Floyd (during Wednesday’s press conference – scroll down to watch). Clearly, with a day or two to go until fight night, against without question one of the most dangerous opponents he’s fought, his focus should be 100% on the fight.

“With what we’ve seen, and what we’re hearing today, I think there is a lot of other things going through Floyd’s head. In one moment he says it might be my last fight, the next he’s saying he might fight more than the three fights. There’s a lot of stuff going through Floyd’s head.”

Would they still be “ours” if he found out they weren’t his? If he has doubts about the babies being his, he needs to quit bellyachin’ and concentrate on what’s going pay his bills, instead of going public with his dirty laundry.

……… bottom line no matter what miss jackson ass is a fuckin gold digger. this is the same bitch who wasn’t around for a good minute for his last fight against canelo but she had the nerve to show up the night before the fight tryna get $$$$$. lets see how she would’ve really reacted back in 2010 if floyd would have told her if you want to live with me you need to get your own money and work a 9-5 and give that lazy bitch the classified section/jobs available in the news paper instead of buying her gifts and cars. and let her work for her own money !! all hands down to her if she would have still worked a 9-5 but i doubt it
